Progression Fixes?

Just wondering when progression and challenge problems will be addressed.

Why do challenges for killing certain enemy types still not progressing in Firefight matchmaking?
Why do we not get challenge points for level ups after the first 100? (makes most of the weekly challenges pointless)
Why are many objective medals not progressing the Objective challenges?
When will Halo 3 be updated to actually give out the new medals so its not the worst game for challenge progress. Halo 1 and 2 have them? Why not 3?

The first one is probably a bug, and the third one is that it specifically list which medals are counted for the challenge so it’s at least not guess work.

Its a silly thing though. Many of the objective modes don’t progress that. Almost all of them are hard to progress in Halo 3 matches for some random reason.

and the first one has been a bug for 2 years now, since Halo Reach launched and you got no Skirmisher progression in the achievement for doing it in Matchmaking fire fight.

  1. Good question. I’d like to see this fixed too. It is kind of funny how this still has yet to be addressed.

  2. Not sure, however being a Tour 8 myself, I can conclude that the first 100 levels points were established to unlock players the Reach armors from S1. After Tour 4, ranking up is very difficult, with your XP requirements being over 500,000 for many ranks in tour 5+. In Tour 6, this quickly enters the millions. You are going to be promoted at a painfully slow pace at this point onwards, so there really isn’t much point in getting a token for levels anymore. My current requirement for the level I am on is 4.5M. The hardest level in T8 is 6.5M.

  3. Not all objective medals count towards the “Objective Results” challenge. The list of ones that do count are in the Objective Results challenge description. What we really do need is a massive new pool of challenges that are possible for each week. These current ones are stale and burned out after many months to even over a year of re-use. These challenges should stay in the pool of possibilities, but we desperately need a massive influx of new ones to add onto the existing (shallow) pool.

  4. Probably never. The XP rewards for earning medals in H3 were significantly buffed about a year ago. This should help to award players decent amounts of XP despite medals being more scarce in H3.

Its quite frustrating as they added modern medals to Halo 1 and 2 but not 3? Makes no sense. As for the XP I mean by Tour 8 thats over 700 season points right lol. Im js the XP challenges are quite pointless for most anyone that sbeen playing any length of time. and #1 still being an issue is so infuriating. I dont want to make custom fire fights mindlessly killing enemies when I could be getting progress while doing the match made challenges.
